Track Column Width in iTunes

Hi all,
In my music pane of itunes I use the column "track #" to view the order of my tracks in certain albums. It only allows up to 3 digits and it doesn't seem possible to change the width of this column (unlike all the other columns).
Anybody any idea why this is? I know it's not very common, but I have an "Album" which contains 4000 songs, it's the TOP4000 all-time released by a radio station in my country. I like the tracknumber since it claims on which position the track is.
I could change the name to accomodate the tracknumber in it, but prefer the proper way.
any suggestions?
cheers

Hi there,
Thinking of your other thread in which you've split the thing into 10 "virtual" discs I was going to work out a way to adjust my AddToTrackNumber script to at least make each "disc" internally consistent with track numbers from 1 to # of tracks rather than have some start at 255 or others at 0.
I'd forgotten this little observation, but with it in mind there is no reason not to use the script to make the track numbers sequential across the whole 10 discs as would be my normal approach. However, I've a feeling the version currently online might need a little tweak to allow it to process more than 99 tracks in one go, so if you don't mind waiting a few hours (while work interferes with my hobby) then I will post an update to the thread when I get a new version uploaded.

ITunes 8 show black playlist column and pink track column

Am I missing something or is this a glitch?

Edit Column Width in Expanded View

I'm not too thrilled about the new iTunes, mostly because of the loss of easy navigation.
My library is full mostly of classical music, and the track names are often very long [eg. "Couperin: Pièces de Clavecin, Onziême Ordre - Les Jongleurs, Sauteurs Et Saltimbanques, Avec Les Ours Et Les Singes"].
The library songs display isn't good for me because it's difficult to keep track of which album one track is a part of, or I'll be looking for something in a specific album which is very difficult to find since each track has its album listing. I liked it before where each album had its array of tracks in one easy bloc.
The difficulty with the albums list is that the text under the albums is cut off before I can see which album it actually is [eg. I see "Bach: Organ Wor...", which isn't good for me because I'm looking for "Bach: Organ Works [Disc 9]"; so in order to find the one I want, I have to count up to number 9. And then when I finally find the right album, I can't distinguish between track names in the expanded view because the columns are too thin to display the often lengthy track names.
It looks something like this in "expanded view":
Say I'm looking for the the Menuetto of Haydn's String Quartet #70 in the album Haydn: String Quartets [Disc 20]:
Album: Haydn: String Quar...
1. Haydn String Quartet #70, Op....
2. Haydn String Quartet #70, Op....
3. Haydn String Quartet #70, Op....
4. Haydn String Quartet #70, Op....
How can I find it when the columns are too thin to display the entire track name?
It seems like the "songs view" and the "albums view" have their own difficulties. So I have two questions:
Is there a way to change the size of the album boxes under "album view"? Now, seven albums fit in one row [in full screen mode]. If I could change it to four albums per row, then I will be able to read the full album names.
Also, in the "expanded view", is there a way to change the width of the columns? If I could increase the column width, then I will be able to read the different track names.
If these things can't be done, then the album view is useless to me, and since the "songs view" is also difficult to use, then this version of iTunes is useless to me and I will have to find another media player.
It's unfortunate that iTunes 11 can be so difficult for classical music listeners, but I'm sure other people have difficulties with this too.
Thanks for the help!
Kind regards,

As far as I know.. no.

Is it possible to set default column widths in list view when using a finder window in Mavericks?

The default 'document' column is way too wide and forces you eye to track all the way across the screen to read info like "date modified', 'kind' or 'size'.
Tried several times to create a narrower default 'document name' column with no results. Couldn't find anything in preferences or view options. Tried dragging column headers while holding the down the option key with no results.
Every time I open a new finder window, all columns except the 'document' column affixed to the right side of the window. Also, when you grab the bottom right corner of a window to resize smaller, the lists become re-affixed to the right side of the window when opening the window back up.
Experiencing the same problem in Mavericks 10.9.3 on an iMac and Macbook Pro Retina.
Thanks if you've made it this far:)

This was a great place for me to start
Thank you
I took profdant139's suggestions a bit further as my real goal was to have the "Document column" narrower. The goal to be able to see all the other document info that was usually hidden way out to the right
To achieve my results I right clicked in the upper bar with the column names and chose from the drop down box "comments" column (as suggested). I then dragged it to the far right. This pushed all the other columns over.
In the end of the day I ended up adding "Size" and "Date modified" columns as well to get my desired results.
Remember one can move different columns around to be in the order you need by clicking on the column to get it active and then left click and drag it to where you want
Another great thing is that by default (Using Mavericks) the date modified, opened,created columns have date and time. One can shrink them down to xx/xx/xx format by manually adjusting the column width like one does in Excel - click on column separator up top and drag
Once all that is done, at least on my box, I closed it out and opened up a new finder window and everything was as I wanted.
Thank you for the help from the above helper to get me here

Cannot change column width

Hi, when my 3rd gen nano is connected and iTunes is open and I am in my nano library, I cannot change the column width.
When I try to change the column width in the iTunes library it's no problem, but once in the nano library I cannot.
What gives ?
Mike.

Uncheck *Manually manage music*, click Apply then again check *Manually manage music*.
I don't like auto sync.
Any reason in particular?
You can create specific playlists and autosync only those.
Add/delete form these playist to add/remove form theiPod.
Using autosync is the only way all the info (ratings, playcounts, date played, etc) will get transferred back to iunes.

In Sales Order changing the column width to see all item desciption?

When in the sales order screen .
Expand the column width of say the item description.
How do I save the column width for all the sales documents for the field item description in sales order ?

Hi,
The column width of the Document will be defaulted to the same size at which the user has saved the last document.
So, if a user has saved the Sales Order with a big column width for the 'Item Description' then after saving and re-entering into the Sales Order, the user can see the same column width for all the Sales Order's.
I hope the above helps.
Cheers~

Dynamically setting column width doesn't work all the time

I wanted to dynamically set the width of a column in a JTable to be half of the width of a another column. This should happen whenever the frame is resized. But somehow I need to tell this twice to Java. If I don't then sometimes the column width isn't set new.
Is this a Java bug or what?
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent ce)
     try
          ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMaxWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
          ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMinWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
          // Again, or it won't work:
          ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMaxWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
          ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMinWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
     catch(SQLException e)
}

Is it possible that your call to
ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMinWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
is altering the response created by
ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(5)).setMaxWidth(ref.table.getColumn(ref.rsmd.getColumnLabel(1)).getWidth() / 2);
? Have you tried calling them once but in the other order? Or just calling the "setMaxWidth" call twice and leaving out the second "setMinWidth"?
Good luck... :)

How to extract the column width in ALv report if its executed in background

I am executing an ALV report in background , in front end i am getting data properly, in back end for some columns some of the digits are missing.For example if PO no is of 10 digits it will display only 8 becos column size is like that , how to extract coulmns in back ground.
I have executed in background and checked the spool and for some of the columns width is not sufficient to display comeplete data so please suggest how to extract the columns sizes if executed inj background for an ALV

Hi Deepthi,
you can try with the above mentioned suggestions ,if its worked its fine ,
If not use Docking container instead of custom container, For ALV in back ground jobs, its suggest to use docking container instead of custom container , below you can find the declaration for docking container and code to use docking and custom container in your program for fore and back ground.
or you can use docking container alone for both operations.
Data : G_DOCK1 TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_DOCKING_CONTAINER,
IF CCON IS INITIAL. (ccon is container name )
*Check whether the program is run in batch or foreground
    IF CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>OFFLINE( ) IS INITIAL.
*Run in foreground
      CREATE OBJECT CCON
        EXPORTING
          CONTAINER_NAME = 'CON1'.
    CREATE OBJECT GRID1
        EXPORTING
          I_PARENT = parent_1.
ELSE.
*Run in background
      CREATE OBJECT GRID1
        EXPORTING
          I_PARENT = G_DOCK1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.

How to set dynamic column width for analysis item

Dear Experts,
I have a query view which is added in the web template as an analysis item. The web item properties on width is not working - I tried entering a value in the width but when I execute the template, the query view's width still stays the same.
Module com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ColumnWidth don't seem correct because I don't want the column width to be static. As my number of columns may change, I wanted the overall width of my query view to stay the same.
Appreciate any ideas which can solve this issue
Thanks and Regards,
huimin
BW newbie

Hi Huimin,
I don't think it is possible to fix the width of the Analysis webitem since it dynamically adjusts its width based on the text maxlength within its cells. Unless you use com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ColumnWidth where the cols are static, you cannot achieve this.
Even if you do override the css settings using a cell padding or something, the portal settings would override the same. How about using a Report webitem to insert tables/charts & check if the width can be adjusted here - just a thought.

Hi,
I'm new to SAP world and I have found a problem I'm not able to solve. I'm working with the Web Application Designer and I want to modify the cell properties (such as cell width) for aligning different queries. In fact, my question are:
<b>
1. Is it possible to hard-code/specify column widths of the analysis_item?
2. The property width of the analysis_item doesn't work, does it?

Hi,
I have just discovered the capability of modifying columns widths with css properties.
So if I add to the head section of the html:
div.prueba2 .urSTTDBdr1
div.prueba2 .urSTTDBdr
div.prueba2 .urSTTDBdr2
And later I put the AnalysisItem between a div class="prueba2" and /div, the columns widths are changed.
Do you know where can I find all the style properties (such as urSTTDBdr1) and its functions?
Thanks

How to resize column width in report?

hi all,
i read somewhere here that in order to resize column width in a report, you need to go to report attributes, then edit the column you wish to resize and then go to the CSS Style and place something like "width=600px". while this works very well in Internet Explorer, it somehow has no effect in Firefox 3.0. is there a way to make it work both browsers?
thanks
allen

Hi,
Sorry, I misunderstood. There are several methods you could use:
1 - Use the span tags around the data itself - this would require adding the tags into the sql statement itself
2 - Use javascript to set the column widths by adding a style to the TD tags for each cell
3 - Create a new Report Template and use COL tags immediately after the TABLE tag in the Before Rows section to specify the widths of all columns
Option 3 may be the easiest?

How to controll column width in report ?

Dear All,
i have created Classic Report but here Column width is too large.
i want to controll column width in report .
How can i do this..
Thanks

Hi Vedant,
There are two possibilities in your case.
1.width of your column heading is too large.
include break in your column heading
for ex .. column heading is employee department number then write it as *[Employee(br)Department(br)Number]* // replace ( with < and ) with > in br
2) Value is too large
Go to Report Attributes->edit your column->column formatting->css style
In CSS style put this display:block;width:100px;white-space:wrap
Hope this will helps you,
Thanks,
Jitendra

How can I modify column width in a spreadsheet report without using an Excel template

I currently use the LabVIEW Report Generation toolkit in LabVIEW 2011SP1 to create simple spreadsheet reports that I can build/print without having Microsoft Office products installed. I really like being able to do this, and it allows me to generate nice on-demand data reports - I'm also not tied to having Office installed on the system I'm using, so this works on just about any test fixture I can install the software on.
I recently have a requirement that I must have variable-length columns in my report. I currently use the VI "Append Text Table to Report" in order to create a text table, but the column width requirement is that all columns must be equal width UNLESS I use an Excel Template file to define my column widths.
My questions are:
Is it possible to create a text table and define per-column widths without using an Excel Template? If so, how? My report mainly has a lot of small numerical values for the columns, but some columns contain system names or status messages - I really hate the longer text blocks wrapping and taking up so much real-estate when if I could control the column widths I can get all my data on a single line.
I'll admit I haven't tried this myself yet, but if I use an Excel Template will that require me to have Excel installed on the PC in order to print/generate reports?
Is there a recommended way (with an example) of generating a text table in a report with or without using the "Append Text Table to Report" VI that allows me to have custom column widths that doesn't require me to manually build a custom print page? If I do have to create a custom print page, what would be the most straightforward approach?
Thanks!
-Danny

Sure, I'll provide a pared down example that demonstrates my use-case:
I have a control to the VI that takes in a 2D array of strings representing the data I want printed in a table. I am generating a standard report, adding a table to the report, and printing it. The first VI is "New Report.vi", the second VI is "Append Table to Report.vi", and the third is "Print Report.vi", all found standard in the Report Generation palette.
Note that the "Append Table to Report.vi" has an input parameter "Column Width" with a default value of (1). This input parameter is a single input parameter, which defines the column widths of ALL the columns in my table - hence, with the VI the way it is, all my columns will be 1 inch wide.
I find myself needing to be able to define per-column widths, not just a single global column width parameter.
The only way I have found to do this is by using an Excel template file. The "New Report.vi" takes in a "template" parameter, and if used, the report generation toolkit can be set to ignore the "Column Width" input parameter on the "Append Table to Report.vi" by setting the width value to -1. Instead it will launch Excel, open the template file provided, build the table using the template, will close Excel, and will attach the generated table to the report. However, I have a strict requirement that Microsoft Office NOT be required to be installed on the computer.
So, without using Excel, is there a way to generate a table in a report and define the width of each column individually?

Is it possible to resize page column widths at runtime (by the user)?

hi all,
i have cretaed a page using the 2-columns narrow/wide layout. this layout is perfect for what i want to do.
however, the users have complained that they would like to be able to resize the columns, just like they are able to do with the Detailed Navigation column (using the small "<" and ">" arrows).
is it posssible to add this functionality to my custom pages so that can also resize the columns?
i searched for options in the properties, but didn't find anything.
thanks,
mm

Reports 6i default column widths

Reports 6i does not appear to pull the correct column width for varchar2 columns when building reports through the wizard. It sets them to 10 regardless of the length.
Is there a way to either always define a specific database column to a specific width in reports or to get reports to size the column correctly through the wizard?
Thanks

Thanks for the quick answer Jay! I tried the latter approach and it didn't work.
Given my limited understanding of CSS I first researched what the # signifies and found that it precedes a value from an ID attribute of an element. Which makes sense because this override would need to know specifically what to adjust.
Next I scanned the source and couldn't find an ID of portletColumnFormatter_0 the closest thing I found was a summary field (summary="Portlet column formatter table.").
Edit: Hmmm...
A quick scan of portal.bea.com shows that ID does in fact exist there but it appears that site is on version 6.5.0
Was this ID value missing in an earlier install version perhaps?
Edit: Aha!
Yet a few moments later I realized my err...our dev environment is still on 6.1.0 which, if memory serves, was missing this key attribute!
It appears my first priority should be to syncrhonize our two environments and THEN worry about customizations.
Thanks again for the help, I'll refer back to this as soon as I'm upgraded:)
